1. Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds,
Am

all
that’s left of what we were, it’s what we have become.

Once our empires glorious, but
now the empire’s gone,
Am
C
the
dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done.
G Am
Now we are victorious we’ve
become our slaves
F G
a
land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave.

2. Holding on to jury is that all we ever know,
Am C
ignorance
our judge and jury all we’ve got to show.
G D
From Hollywood to Babylon, holy
war to kingdom come,
Am C
on a
trail of dust and ashes when the burning sky is done.
G Am
A tide of change is coming and
that is what you fear,
F G
the
earthquake is a coming, but you don’t want to hear,
G
you’re
just too blind to see ! + CHORUS
